Multi-dimensional simulations of bow shocks of massive, high-velocity runaway stars

Stellar bow shocks result from the supersonic collision of stellar winds ejected by runaway stars and the interstellar medium (ISM). Studying their properties provides constraints on mass-loss rates, stellar wind velocities and the properties of the ISM. In this work, we study the formation of bow s...
